[verse]
Boldly I embraced your favor
And thought you'd fight shadow with light
I pictured you some kind of savior
Entranced by the words of your might
[pre-chorus]
But as you move onward
I'm seeing you on my own
And quickly I ponder
If you will reap what you sow
[chorus]
Burn
I hope you burn
Just long enough so you live what I've learned
Trust me, the pain is still less than you've earned
Fade into ashes to never return
Flame
Met by the flame
Watch as the fire erases your name
I hope when life flashes back you're ashamed
I'd burn it all down just to keep you away
[verse]
My righteous blood boils in my carcass
Conflicted in all your lies
Were always your visions so heartless?
So selfish your want terrifies
[pre-chorus]
But as you move onward
I'm seeing you on my own
And quickly I ponder
If you will reap what you sow
[chorus]
Burn
I hope you burn
Just long enough so you live what I've learned
Trust me, the pain is still less than you've earned
Fade into ashes to never return
Flame
Met by the flame
Watch as the fire erases your name
I hope when life flashes back you're ashamed
I'd burn it all down just to keep you away
[bridge]
The light that once I thought compassion
Still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions
That bring me to curse what you’ve done
When you’re up there absorbed in greatness
With such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces
When you fly too close to the sun
[chorus]
Burn
I hope you burn
Just long enough so you live what I've learned
Trust me, the pain is still less than you've earned
Fade into ashes to never return
Flame
Met by the flame
Watch as the fire erases your name
I hope when life flashes back you're ashamed
I'd burn it all down just to keep you away
I hope you burn
I hope it hurts when you burn
